Viewing Notes

Every time I watch this I have the same two observations: I’m rooting for Del Toro’s character; and I want to know more about the “hunters” he killed. In the opening scene they are clearly hunting him but also don’t seem liked seasoned agents.

Honestly Del Toro steals the show here. Jones feels out of place and always trying to catch up to his character. Nielson is good as the FBI agent in charge but also doesn’t get quite enough to do; I wish her role was a little meatier.
